Forum pancanadien - Étude nationale de la santé des populations relative aux maladies neurologiques.Le 5 juin 2009, la ministre fédérale de la Santé a annoncé que le gouvernement du Canada s’engageait à verser 15 millions de dollars pour une étude nationale en santé des populations de quatre ans portant sur les maladies neurologiques. Conçue pour améliorer notre compréhension des maladies neurologiques et de leurs répercussions sur les Canadiens, cette étude est gérée par l’Agence de la santé publique du Canada (ASPC) en collaboration avec les Organismes caritatifs neurologiques du Canada (OCNC), un regroupement de 25 organismes caritatifs œuvrant dans le domaine de la neurologie. L’Étude nationale de la santé des populations relative aux maladies neurologiques n’est pas une simple étude, mais un important programme de recherche incluant trois enquêtes nationales et 13 projets de recherche pancanadiens, dont quelques études portant sur la faisabilité de la surveillance en continu de certaines maladies neurologiques et l’élaboration d’un modèle de microsimulation. Les résultats serviront de base à l’élaboration de nouvelles politiques et de nouveaux programmes. L’équipe chargée de l’étude se compose de plus de 125 chercheurs, qui proviennent de 30 établissements canadiens, universitaires et non universitaires. Cet article présente brièvement l’Étude nationale de la santé des populations relative aux maladies neurologiques, sa raison d’être ainsi que son historique, ses objectifs et les stratégies adoptées.
